  • Episode 70: Understanding Troponin | As Serious As A Heart Attack
    2024/10/14

    Troponin is a protein found in heart muscle that was a game changer when it came to diagnosing heart attacks and myocardial injury in the late 1990s. Three decades later, it is an invaluable test with widespread use throughout medicine.

    Troponin assays are venturing into their 5th generation with high-sensitivity and Point-Of-Care (POC) devices. However, there are important exceptions, caveats and pitfalls for doctors to know.

    This is the story of troponin.

    Our special guest:

    Our special guest is Dr Christina Trambas who is a chemical pathologist, Medical Director at St Vincent’s Pathology and chair of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australiasia (RCPA) Troponin Working Party.

  • Episode 100 Well Kinda | Historical autopsy of Oscar Wilde
    2024/09/30

    Our eagle-eyed This Medical Life podcast listeners will wonder why we have called this episode 100 … is that right?

    Well, it kinda is.

    If you add up both This Pathological Life and This Medical Life podcasts episodes, it’s well over 100 episodes.

    This is a small milestone for this ‘Trav and Steve’ dynamic duo who have never resolved the question: which one is Robin?

    In honour of this achievement, we reflect upon the life and death of an amazing poet and author Oscar Wilde. We dive back into the 1850s to 1900s when modern medicine was at its infancy and the ‘love that dare not speak its name’ was a crime.

    This is the story of Oscar Wilde

    Our appreciation goes out to our listeners who we hope will enjoy this flight of fancy episode and reflect on where we have come from, where we are, and where we are heading.

    Our special guest:

    We have no special guests this episode, other than some choice quotes from the man of the hour, Oscar Wilde.
